  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an electrode structure of a lithium ion battery according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, an electrode structure 100 of a lithium ion battery comprises a current collector 110, at least one energy type active layer 120 and at least one power type active layer 130. The energy type active layer 120 and the power type active layer 130 are formed on the current collector 110. The energy type active layer 120 comprises a first lithium-containing compound and a plurality of first conductive particles. For example, the first lithium-containing compound is a lithium-containing complex transitional metal oxide. The composition of the lithium-containing complex transitional metal oxide (the first lithium-containing compound) includes at least one of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) or manganese (Mn). The power type active layer 130 comprises a second lithium-containing compound and a plurality of second conductive particles. For example, the second lithium-containing compound is a lithium-containing complex transitional metal oxide. The composition of the lithium-containing complex transitional metal oxide (the second lithium-containing compound) includes at least one of Ni, Co or Mn. A lithium ion diffusion coefficient of the second lithium-containing compound is greater than that of the first lithium-containing compound. A specific capacity of the first lithium-containing compound is greater than that of the second lithium-containing compound. With the multi-layer structure formed from the at least one energy type active layer 120 and the at least one power type active layer 130, by incorporating the first lithium-containing compound with a high ion transmission efficiency of the second lithium-containing compound, the electrode structure 100 of a lithium ion battery is not only capable of performing high-efficiency discharge but offered with a prolonged cycle life.
  • According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the electrode structure 100 is a cathode of lithium ion battery. However, in applications, electrode structure 100 of a lithium ion battery may be cathode or anode, which is depending on the conditions applied and not limited thereto.
  • In the embodiment, one of the energy type active layer 120 and the power type active layer 130 is formed on the other. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the power type active layer 130 is formed on the energy type active layer 120, and the energy type active layer 120 is formed between the current collector 110 and the power type active layer 130.
  • In the embodiment, the energy type active layer 120 and the power type active layer 130 may have the same thickness or different thicknesses. For example, the ratio of the thickness of the energy type active layer 120 to the thickness of the power type active layer 130 may be 5:5 to 7:3. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the thickness T1 of the energy type active layer 120 is greater than the thickness T2 of the power type active layer 130. Since the energy type active layer 120 has a higher capacity than that of the power type active layer 130, the optimization of the high-power and high-capacity characteristics of the electrode structure 100 can be achieved, and the overall capacity of the electrode structure 100 will not be reduced caused by a large thickness of the power type active layer 130
  • In the embodiment, the specific capacity of the first lithium-containing compound may be greater than or equal to 140 mAh/g.
  • In the embodiment, the first lithium-containing compound includes, for example, one or a combination of two or more of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO2), lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4), a lithium-containing ternary oxide and a lithium phosphate compound. In the embodiment, the lithium-containing ternary oxide may be lithium manganese cobalt nickel oxide (LiMnxCoyNizO2), where 0<x, y, z<1, or lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LiNixCoyAlzO2), where 0<x, y, z<1, but not limited thereto. In the embodiment, a chemical formula of a lithium phosphate compound is LiMPO4, where M is Fe, Ni or Mn. In an embodiment, the lithium phosphate compound may be LiFePO4. However, the selections of the type of the first lithium-containing compound may vary depending on the conditions applied and are not limited thereto.
  • In the embodiment, the second lithium-containing compound has a lithium ion diffusion coefficient greater than or equal to 10−7 cm2/s. For example, the second lithium-containing compound may be LiMn2O4 (a spinel structure), or other types of lithium-containing compounds. The second lithium-containing compound may be one or a combination of two or more lithium-containing compounds having a lithium ion diffusion coefficient greater than or equal to 10−7 cm2/s. In one embodiment, the second lithium-containing compound may be a compound having a three-dimensional network structure, e.g., a compound having a cubic system lattice structure, such as LiMn2O4 (a spinel), having a ion transmission capability greater than that of a common layer structured active material (e.g., LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2). In an alternative embodiment, the second lithium-containing compound may also be a layer-structured active material with a dopant, which increases the ion transmission capability of the layer-structured active material. In the embodiment, the lithium ion diffusion coefficient of LiMn2O4 is approximately 10−7 cm/s, the lithium ion diffusion coefficient of LiCoO2 and LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 is approximately 10−8 cm/s, and the lithium ion diffusion coefficient of LiFePO4 is approximately from 10−10 to 10−11 cm/s. However, in addition to the above examples, given that the lithium ion diffusion coefficient of the second lithium-containing compound is greater than that of first lithium-containing compound, the selections of the types of the first and second lithium-containing compounds may vary according to the conditions applied and are not limited thereto.
  • In the embodiment, the first conductive particles are uniformly mixed in the energy type active layer 120, and the second conductive particles are uniformly mixed in the power type active layer 130 to achieve a preferred electron transmission effect. For example, the first conductive particles and the second conductive particles are respectively one or a combination of two or more of vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF), conductive carbon black, graphite, a nano-sized carbon material, and acetylene black. In the embodiment, the first conductive particles and the second conductive particles may be selected from the same or different materials. However, in addition to the above examples, the selections of the types of the first conductive particles and the second conductive particles may vary according to the conditions applied and are not limited thereto.
  • In one embodiment, the weight ratio of the second conductive particles to the power type active layer 130 may be 3 to 80 wt %, and may be preferably 5 to 50 wt %. In one embodiment, the second conductive particles may have a specific surface area of 10 m2/g to 100 m2/g, and preferably 20 m2/g to 70 m2/g.
  • In one embodiment, the weight ratio of the second conductive particles to the power type active layer 130 may be greater than the weight ratio of the first conductive particles to the energy type active layer 120. In the embodiment, the specific surface area of the second conductive particles in the power type active layer 130 is greater than the specific surface area of the first conductive particles in the energy type active layer 120.
  • In the embodiment, by incorporating the energy type active layer 120 having a high capacity with the second conductive particles having a high specific surface area and a high concentration in the power type active layer 130, the electron transmission capability (i.e., the electricity conductivity) can be increased. Compared to a conventional electrode structure having a single active material layer, the electrode structure according to the embodiments of the disclosure achieves a lower loss in the overall capacity under high-power discharge.
  • In one embodiment, the first lithium-containing compound and the second lithium-containing compound may both include lithium-containing manganese compounds. For example, the first lithium-containing compound may be LiNi0.4Mn0.4Co0.2O2, and the second lithium-containing compound may be LiMn2O4. When compositions of the lithium-containing compounds in both of the energy type active layer 120 and the power type active layer 130 include manganese, a high compatibility is provided in battery applications in contribution to the same element utilized. Further, as LiMn2O4 has a rather high platform voltage at about 3.9 V, that is close to an operating voltage (usually 3.7 V) of a common lithium ion battery, cross utilization and operations of products are further favored.
  • Further, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the power type active layer 130 is formed on the energy type active layer 120, and both of the energy type active layer 120 and the power type active layer 130 contain lithium-containing manganese compounds. The insertion and extraction of the lithium ions cause an oxidation-reduction reaction, and so the lithium-containing manganese compound (e.g. LiMn2O4) in the power type active layer 130 is allowed to in advance transform into a more stable tetravalent manganese (Mn4+) layer. By the Mn4+ layer effectively protecting the lithium-containing manganese compound (e.g. lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese compound) having a high capacity in the energy type active material layer 130 underneath, an overall amount of dissolved manganese in the electrode structure can be reduced, and hence the cycle life is prolonged. Further, due to the better chemical stability and safety of coupling of trivalent and tetravalent manganese (Mn3+/4+) ions over those of coupling of trivalent and tetravalent cobalt (Co3+/4+), the amount of trivalent and tetravalent manganese (Mn3+/4+) in the two-layered structure according to the embodiments of the disclosure is greater than that in a conventional single-layered electrode structure, thereby promoting the corresponding stability in an electrochemical cycle.
  • In the embodiment, the energy type active layer 120 and the power type active layer 130 in the electrode structure 100 of a lithium ion battery may further comprise a binder, respectively. In the embodiment, the first lithium-containing compound and the first conductive particles form the energy type active layer 120 via the binder, and the second lithium-containing compound and the second conductive particles form the power type active layer 130 via the binder.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an electrode structure of a lithium ion battery according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, the difference of the second embodiment from the embodiment in FIG. 1 is in that, in an electrode structure 200 of a lithium ion battery, the power type active layer 130 is formed between the current collector 110 and the energy type active layer 120. Elements sharing the same labeling are the same elements. Details of the same elements can be referred from associated descriptions of the foregoing embodiment, and shall be omitted herein.

However, the selections of the types of the lithium-containing compounds in the power type active layer 130 and in the power type active layer 130′ may vary according to the conditions applied. Given that the lithium ion diffusion coefficients of the lithium-containing compounds in the two power type active layers 130 and 130′ are greater than that of the first lithium-containing compound in the energy type active layer 120, the lithium-containing compound in the two power type active layers 130 and 130′ may be the same or different compounds.

Elements sharing the same labeling are the same elements. Details of the same elements can be referred from associated descriptions of the foregoing embodiments, and shall be omitted herein.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the two energy type active layers 120 and 220 are respectively located between the two power type active layers 130 and 230 and the current collector 110. In an alternative embodiment, the two power type active layers 130 and 230 may also be respectively located between the two energy type active layers 120 and 220 and the current collector 110 (not shown).

However, given that the lithium ion diffusion coefficients of the lithium-containing compounds in the power type active layers 130 and 230 are greater than that of the lithium-containing compound in the energy type active layers 120 and 220, the selections of the type of the lithium-containing compounds in the energy type active layer 120, in the power type active layer 130, in the energy type active layer 220 and in the power type active layer 230 may vary according to the conditions applied and are not limited thereto.
